Just removed mine yesterday.

1. Pull the shade down as if to block the sun.
2. Insert a flat head screw driver into the slot on the small round plastic bezel.
3. Pull the visor towards you pulling down slightly. The bar from the visor will hit the screwdriver causing the small inner bezel to rotate and pop free of the larger outside bezel.
4. Push up on the rod and turn it a little more until it is free from the healiner.
5. Disconnect the electrical connector (you may have to fish it out from inside the headliner).

Just found this too:
To remove the driver side sunshade, tilt the sunshade down toward the windshield as you would to block the sun.
Insert the blade of a flat head screwdriver in the slot on the inner plastic bezel at the end of the rod (Install protective sleeve on this rod) protruding from the sunshade into the roof area.
Now rotate the sunshade clockwise toward the driver’s side window. The placement of the screwdriver will cause the bezel to rotate when the sunshade turns and presses against it. Pull down on the sunshade arm as you rotate it until the sunshade stops.[the first tab disengages]. Push up on the sunshade and continue rotating the sunshade until the sunshade with the inner bezel disengages from the mounting bezel.
In this position the sunshade will come free from the roof-housing. Expose the wiring connector (This is located 2-3” from the end of the rod.) Disconnect the connector. (you may have to remove the roof bezel to get the connector to come free. This bezel is a press-fit.)
